Do you think the reason there is no bipartisanship and

[Lint Head]

even more obstruction by the GOP on Mueller and getting things done for the people is because the majority of the GOP is owned by Vladimir Putin?

My speculation is that they are worried about blowing their cover. They are nothing but criminals hiding in plain sight. They do not want to be exposed. Competition between Republicans and Democrats have been taken too far. The intention of a multi-party system is to give people a choice. But when one side decides that it's their way or the highway, that they are right and that is all that matters, it becomes a radical situation where the opposition is considered an enemy, not just an opposing view to be considered by the voting public. I think it is beyond a theory, or speculative, that we are in the middle of a silent coup. The smell of treason is everywhere. There are folks here that think Trump and his criminal gang have not reached that poiint, based on the law school definition, or that the true definition of treason has been reached or could even be considered.

1. Not the majority but the top tier is.

2. No. I think they have sold their souls for power.

But there are likely some that got caught up with Russia.

3. Yes, it is now clear Ryan, McConnell and his wife, Nunes, etc all of them are

guilty of conspiracy to commit election fraud.

This is the crime that they will all be guilty of whether or indicted or not.

5. We've had problems with no bipartisanship, obstruction, knee-jerk resistance,

disregard for law, partisan-inspired witchhunts etc. since long before tRump, or Putin. A case could be made for taking it back to Reagan's enlistment of evangelicals. When your positions are received from God, compromise is a sin and your opponents the embodiment of Satan. Any of that sound familiar? The recent election in Alabama showed a big chunk of local Republicans more willing to vote for a pedophile than a Democrat.

There was a reason the Founders wanted a separation of church and state.

Personally I am not interested in any form of bipartisanship with that bunch of dishonest hypocrites.

7. I've been around a long time and never has there been a desire to totally destroy a legit political

party or the destroy the right to have truly different perspectives presented to the people. I can show you ads from the 1800's that define a political opponent in a degraded manner. The only war started here, by traitors, was the Civil War and there was nothing civil about it. But, except for slavery, people still had a choice when voting. Propaganda has gone into hyper-drive because of the internet and people who believe propaganda is not a form of mass hypnosis need a brain cell infusion.

There is a reason people will send their last dime to a criminal charlatan con-man evangelist because it insures that golden road to heaven. That golden road is lying propaganda.

6. Most

The House and Senate leadership, along with the most of the Committee chairs and some of the members of Trump's cabinet, too!!!

8. GOP crime family

The GOP has become an organized crime family. Voter suppression, theft of Supreme Court Seat and much before has set the stage. Often criminals progress to more and more heinous crimes as their career progresses. How far will the GOP progress in its criminal activities? An American version of the French Revolution may be the only way to save America and the world from the GOP mafia. It is good to keep in mind that war is very profitable for some of the very rich.

9. There hasn't been much bipartisanship on big issues in some time.

A couple of people reaching out here and there.

Numbers are what demands bipartisan action. We are in that state for very limited times.

There is no bipartisanship because you(hopefully) and I don't want it.

I do not support bipartisanship outside of certain periods where it would be impossible to accomplish something without it.
